? Inside the Romanian Royal Palace, Eder is listening to two intelligence chiefs about Russia.

"According to our investigation, Russia has now been divided into several forces at war."

Edel listened to the report of the captain of the bodyguard, Carrust, and learned that there is now a pot of turmoil in Russia.

In October last year, after the Soviet government and the Allied bloc led by Germany signed the Brest Agreement, Russia became turbulent. Among them, Kornilov, who had served as the highest commander of Russia with the most irascible character, took the lead in breaking out the rebellion in Rostov on the lower reaches of the Don River. However, since Kornilov had only a few thousand troops and had little influence, the Soviet government did not pay attention to the rebellion.

Another reason is that the Soviet Russian government had no military power in the lower Don River at that time. And if you send troops from Moscow, you need to destroy a large number of local governments that have not recognized the Soviet Russian regime along the way. Its too much movement is not conducive to the upcoming parliamentary elections, so its actions are temporarily let go.

In the January Constituent Assembly elections, the Bushelvik Party won fewer votes than the Social Revolutionary Party because of the signing of a contract with Germany. So Lenin and others overthrew the election organized by themselves, and sent troops to disperse the Constituent Assembly by force, resulting in the January 5th bloodshed.

The Russian rebellion spread immediately. On January 20, Yudenich, commander-in-chief of the Caucasus Front, launched a rebellion in Petrozavodsk. It was aided by the Allied powers gathered in Murmansk, and a large amount of weapons and ammunition was supplied to Yudenich's rebels. And Yudenich, who was supported by a large number of weapons and equipment, immediately prepared his army and went south to attack St. Petersburg and start a war with the Soviet and Russian troops.

As for Kolchak, who Edel is most concerned about, the captain of the guards also revealed his specific movements.

In early February, in the city of Ufa on the west side of the Ural Mountains, many political parties dissatisfied with Soviet Russia gathered here and established a cabinet to govern, that is, the Russian Provisional Government. Kolchak, who stayed in the United States for nearly two months, served as the military minister in the government in charge of military affairs. Among them, he was responsible for negotiating with the famous Czech legion for the first time.

As in history, the Czechoslovak Legion, composed of 60,000 Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war, revolted on the way back through Siberia. As in history, they also caused dissatisfaction and rebellion because of being discriminated against. The difference is that the location is no longer Chelyabinsk, but in cities such as Novosibirsk.

And this time, the Russian provisional government, which was set up to compete with the Soviet Union and Russia, did not have too much wrangling. The reason is that the power of the Soviet Union and Russia in this civil war is weaker than in history. These parties are eager to fight back to Moscow, St. Petersburg, etc., and the elite areas of Russia have gained enough influence to gain the upper hand in the next election.

Compared with the vigorous rebellion, the military strength of the Soviet Russian government was too weak this time.

In order to fulfill the soldiers' promise to stop the war, Soviet Russia could only disband a large number of soldiers who had long since returned to their hearts. So when the rebellion broke out frequently, the reliable army in the hands of Soviet Russia was less than 150,000, nearly 50,000 less than in the history of the same period (194,000 troops in April 1918).

In addition to fulfilling the promise, the main reason is the lack of sufficient materials.

Because of the existence of Eder, a small butterfly, a large amount of materials in Russia were re-sold to Romania, and Deo spent a lot of money to buy these materials from Romania, so the extortion on the Brest contract was even more fierce. . After the Soviet Russia, which was already short of supplies, was severely hung with a layer of oil and water by De Austria, basically the warehouse was running away from mice. Therefore, the number of troops maintained in the army is even less.

However, in the face of the rebellions that broke out across the country, Soviet Russia quickly showed its combat effectiveness. In early January, the People's Committee of Soviet Russia issued a decree on the formation of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Navy.

On January 21, the day after Yudenich's rebellion, the Soviet Union established the Supreme Military Council to give unified command of its troops. On February 9, a local military organization was established to implement a universal military training system throughout the country. On February 29, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee passed a decree on the introduction of universal military service. The Soviet Russian government also decided to mobilize the manpower and material resources of the whole country to turn all the work into the wartime track.

So the civil war between the two Russian governments broke out.

Eder asked after listening to the intelligence department's report on the recent situation of the Soviet-Russian civil war. "Then do we still have merchants operating in Russia?"

Facing the king's question, Milok, who knew the situation best, replied. "Your Majesty, we still have quite a few merchants operating in Russia."

Milok's answer caught Edel's interest. "tell me the story."

Then Milok explained the current situation of these businessmen in detail.

These Romanian businessmen are quite prosperous in Russia. They are not only around the Black Sea, but also have their footsteps in the Ural Mountains, and can even be seen in Central Asia.

This is all due to the current chaotic situation in Russia, which has cut off the connection with the central government in many places. Some are active and some are passive. But no matter whether they are active or passive, their official class is basically that of Tsarist Russia. So these businessmen specially prepared good things for these officials. Dollars, pounds, the whole family emigrated abroad, as long as these officials put forward personal requirements, they can all meet.

As a result, a larger smuggling activity than during the Russian Revolution revolved around this. During this period, materials worth nearly one million US dollars were loaded on ships and shipped to Romania through various means of transportation. Most of these supplies were sold to these Romanian merchants at very low prices by greedy officials. Among them, the quantity of production and living materials such as minerals, grains and cotton is the largest.

On the one hand, there is a shortage of living materials in Russia, and on the other hand, a large number of materials that can be relieved have been resold. This year and next year, the living conditions of the Russian people will be more difficult than in history, and all this is what Edel hopes to see. Making the Russian Civil War more brutal could help Romania relieve a lot of stress in the future. After all, Russia is too much of a threat to Romania, especially when it is still red.

"How's the preparation for the things I asked you to prepare all the time?"

After learning about the current situation of businessmen in Russia, Edel plans to work hard on the next windfall.

Facing Edel's question, Milok replied. "We are always preparing and we can act immediately when the time is right."

As the tsar secretly moved the gold to the Bank of Kazan, the Romanian intelligence officers who had been watching here immediately sent the news back to the country. And Milok, who received this information, suddenly realized the plan that the king had made himself and Calust do all the time. This gold seems like a suitable target to smuggle nearly 600 tons of goods from Kazan.

As for why the king let himself prepare years in advance, Milok did not make random guesses. Maybe the person who gave the Tsar this advice may have done it on purpose. In this regard, he kept this idea deep in his heart and never dared to reveal anything.

Edel, who didn't know what Milok was thinking, said immediately after hearing his answer. "Ready to find an opportunity to smuggle the gold back immediately. It's best between the Soviet and Belarusian armies."

"clear."
